Goldie Hawn and Warren Buffet Had Recent Real-Estate Wins

Living in the former home of a celebrity comes with a certain cachet, but usually with a high price tag as well. While some stars are able to sell their homes for their desired listing price—and even turn a profit—others struggle to unload their properties because of steep costs and unusual amenities. Here, a look at which celebrities sank and swam recently in the world of real estate.

LOSS: Calvin Klein

LOSS: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Former couple Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are once again trying to sell their Manhattan penthouse. In 2015 the apartment was listed for $14.25 million, before being reduced to $12.85 million. It was then removed from the market after eight months. It is now listed at $9.995 million.

GAIN: Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have made a tidy profit on their house in Pacific Palisades, California, purchased in 2004 for $4.12 million. The couple just sold the home, which includes a meditation pavilion, for $6.9 million.

GAIN: Warren Buffett

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has finally put the Laguna Beach, California, house he bought in 1971 for $150,000 on the market—for $11 million. While he's reportedly invested a considerable amount of money in renovating the home, if the six-bedroom house sells for anywhere near the listing price, that will be quite the return.
